I have a 91' LX that I'm trying to lower in my driveway but need the mcpherson coil/strut compressor for an easy and safe swap but found out that its is worth like a million dollars($200) to buy. Any body have 1 I can rent or buy off them for a good price. Or any recommendations on how to do this safely????<br /><br />Thanks. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>88DroptopGT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2535</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,8,25,15,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Rent it from a local auto parts chain (Autozone, Pep Boys, Kragen, etc).<br /><br />Also if your car has a lot of miles replace the spring isolator cups while you are at it.
